Wearing You
Your apparel wraps-up my frame today,
Apparel not, it’s you circumnavigate
My form as if through metamorphosis.
The textile you, stir my cells
Through pan-frame activities tactile
But alsa! The cells respond not to your entreaties
They treat you as ‘foreign body’,
And deservedly you suffer tissue-rejection.
Even my notes encased in your purse
Rebel and remind me how
Lavishly incalculative I was
With them – caused them
Part with me to comfort you.
I wear you only to tear
Dual floral memories dear
For those gnaw at my core
Adding to my years another score.
Textile relic of my siren
Hasten the wear and tear then
For to Ithaca must I return
Burrying all Calypsonian remnants
In the aquatic safe of the Lotos-land.
